Bluetooth Stack & Drivers

The initial goal of the project is to get a protocol stack for Bluetooth ready for integration into the ON consolidation.  Initially this will include a driver for Bluetooth mouse.  After that additional drivers such as keyboard, audio, modem etc will be added either as part of this project or follow-on ones.

One of the first tasks of the project is to determine if there is a usable stack available under a suitable license for inclusion in the OpenSolaris kernel.  If there is we will investigate porting that.

We are going to start out using the drivers-discuss mailing list on opensolaris.org until such time as we determine that separate bluetooth alias is required.

Bluetooth Project SketchPad is used for the initial collaboration on the project.

Bluetooth mouse support

The installation images for x86 and AMD64 are available, these packages and binaries work for Indiana 0906 Build107+, Solaris Express Community Edition(or ONNV) BUILD 107+.

- supports NON-DEBUG Kernel Only. (released by FreeCD and SXCE DVD)
- Download the installer. Run it as root. Remember to reboot system after the installation is accomplished.

• su root
• wget http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Project+bluetooth/WebHome/btmsinstaller.sh
• chmod +x ./btmsinstaller.sh
• ./btmsinstaller.sh
